3:00 p.m. Item 1: Saylor’s Watch (High Density Plan Modification) – Request
by Mark Hargrove, PE for Saylor’s Watch, Inc. to consider adding 20
residential units to an existing project located near the 4700 block of
South College Road, west side.
Saylor’s Watch Site Plan History
Saylor’s Watch was approved as a High Density project with Special Use Permit for 82
residential units by the Board of County Commissioners in March, 2005. Several minor
site plan changes have been approved by staff with the latest modification in December,
2011. Most of the project has been developed. The petitioner, Mark Hargrove, is
requesting that 20 additional units be absorbed into the project for a total of 102. The
units requested are a result of the release of 404 wetlands by the Army Corps of
Engineers near the western portion of the project. A copy of the Corps letter is attached.
A new Special Use Permit will be required pending site plan approval.
